jessicaxmaria 's review for:
Cloud Atlas
by David Mitchell
Had no idea what I was getting into, save the trailer for the movie I saw once or twice last year. I never made it to the movie, but I think I'm quite glad to have read and thoroughly enjoyed the book first.
At first I wasn't so sure about the transitions... when a new "voice" began narrating, sometimes it was irritating to switch gears. But I always ended up completely immersed all over again. Even with the middle section that was borderline unreadable when I began it, but ended up loving as well. I liked that I paused often to consider what was happening and the themes at play.
It all came together quite beautifully and I'd consider it a new favorite. I'm also very wary now of the film...but I'll have to watch it!
